Integrated MMA/Fairtex took a clean sweep at Rize FC 5 in Brisbane last night. All 3 fighters stopped their opponents due to strikes and made their team and supporters proud.

Congratulations to Tim Radley who in his debut fight caught his opponents first kick and delivered a beautiful straight right that KO’d his opponent at the 9 sec mark of round 1..

Nate “BullRush”Thompson was next to do his thing and in a hard fought battle brought about a second round TKO due to a hailstorm of unanswered  punches and elbows from mount.

The main event of the evening saw Brisbanes local boy Mick Mortimer fight former Shooto Champion Masahiro Oishi for the 60kg Rize FC Title. Round 1 saw Oishi using his awesome arsenal of grappling skills taking the young Aussie fighters back and moving to a good armbar attempt. However Mortimer showed great calmness weathering the storm with good grappling and impressive submission defence of his own. As round 2 began Mortimer found confidence in Oishi’s unsuccesful submission attempts and began to gain the upperhand with great takedown defence and punishing striking. As the round wore on Australias 60kg Champion landed combination after combination of punches and elbows that opened cuts in his Japanese opponents head. After a brief doctors check of Oishi, Mortimer opened the final exchange of the night with a punishing punch elbow combination bringing about a verbal submission from Oishi. Mick Mortimer was awarded the Rize FC Bantamweight Title much to the delight of his large group of supporters.

Integrated MMA would like to thank Tapout and Fairtex for personally sponsoring Mick and also valued Team Sponsors ASN, MMA Sports Mag and All Type Cabinets.
